A new version of PyChecker is available for your hacking pleasure. PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in Python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint. Comments, criticisms, new ideas, and other feedback is welcome. Changes from 0.8.10 to 0.8.11: * Improve error message for syntax errors from user files * Fix pychecker.bat so it should work now * Add a warning for using __coerce__ in new-style classes * Add --deprecated option for using deprecated modules or functions * Add a warning for using functions with security problems (os.t[e]mpnam) * Add a warning for comparing against True/False or defining True/False * Add --badexcept option to warn when using string exceptions or classes not derived from Exception to raise/catch exceptions * Fix spurious warnings from using (test and 'true' or 'false) Various other bugs were also fixed, including some problems using PyChecker in Python 2.2.
